From the Ashes of Angels: The Forbidden Legacy of a Fallen Race Paperback – Import, 1 September 2001

This book is an enlightening must read. Very factual, jumps about a bit historically, but had me enthralled. I enjoyed it so much that I bought 2 more copies for friends birthdays. You will enjoy it if you have an enquiring mind, and have read books on the egyptian enigma. This book gives an explanation of our origins.

Andrew Collins is a courageous man...for decades conspiracy researchers have speculated that Mankind's true history has been hidden -- everything from Atlantis and Lemuria to the true nature of the Nefelim and Elohim referenced in the Bible. Modern scientists will scoff at this, but of course a conspiracy theorist would counter that their Rockefeller-derived academic experience may have had a few holes in it. History is written by the Winners, edited by the Masters of War, and kept from the People, as it always has been. So using something called "psychic archaeology" (where psychics don't tell him what happened in the past, but rather where to look for hard archaeological evidence). The scope of this book is staggering and eye-popping, much like "The Book Of Enoch" which is the central source of the story Collins relates. It may read like science fiction, but it dovetails with so much other research from so many different directions that it has to be taken seriously. In my opinion, it is the one book that puts it all together. Myself, I have been following this story since the 70s, and have written a novel revolving around the same ideas Collins presents. "From the Ashes of Angels" is an amazing book for the general reader with an open mind, and it will open the door to a hundred other books, many of considerable scholarship, which will rewrite what we thought about history and who we think we are as a species. A simply brilliant achievement, and the culmination of a life's work of scholarship. See his website [...] for more info...

Very interesting and informative book. My only problem is that the author goes off on different tangents occasionally and you forget what it was he was originally talking about. However, even the tangents are interesting.

I would rate this book a five on information and a one on its structure. I'm reading it now for the second time, and having just as much trouble as the first. There is just so much in here, and too much is, I think, rendered in the main text rather than being subjugated as footnotes. The result is a loss of integrity due to these diversions in the text which, at least on my part, leads to confusion.Too many tangents! There is just so much in this book, so many interesting ideas and conceptions and a wealth of history that despite the difficulty I am pursuing it with vigor and writing my own chapter summaries and marginal notes. I would most certainly recommend this book to those interested in this subject, but be warned that it is hard-going. If the authors happen to read this review I would ask them to please, please, write chapter summaries as does Graham Phillips!

Wow. The efforts the author put forth to look at ancient history, and where our ideas about religion came from, is heroic. There is no stone left unturned to figure out why early society believed in angels, fallen or otherwise, or "Watchers". I am half way through this book and find myself looking forward to times I have set aside to absorb all the knowledge (and theories) presented here. I have learned a lot about the history of the Middle East, and Kurdistan in particular. Excellent book, highly recommended
